We were thrilled to discover we could actually have a fire here! And they had firewood for sale. We also appreciated that masks were expected to be worn in the bathrooms, which were very clean. The host was friendly and helpful. We loved the layout of the campground. There was one large group spread out on several sites, but they were totally quiet between 10 and 8. We will definitely be back! Turquoise Lake is beautiful! Definitely bring kayaks, canoes, SUPS or blowup boats!

I loved the campground. No water, but that wasn't a problem for us. Loved the actual campsites. Thought the camp hostess was unpleasant. We had 4 campsites reserved. Checked out of ours and went to another campsite which was reserved for that night also to have lunch on our way our. It was 12:00 noon when we got there. By 12:30 the camp hostess was nagging at us to leave, saying we weren't allowed any "day use", when all we were doing was having lunch and fixing lunch for our friend who had paid for another night. This was the second time she had gotten on our case. Quite unfriendly if you ask me.

There was no water at the campground. It’s a lot of work to bring in water for a large family. This made our camping trip very stressful.

Beautiful campsite, great lake, terrific camp host. Toilets cleanest I've ever seen. Sites a little close to one another.

We love the lake and the host was awesome! Not crazy about the mosquitoes but they were tolerable.

We always enjoy our trips to Turquoise Lake. We have camped at four of the campgrounds and the sites are well kept, bathrooms always clean and camp host friendly and helpful.

We always try to camp to Father Dyer CG at the Turquoise Lake Recreation Area for several reasons. The campsites and restrooms are always very clean and nice per effort of long time campground host Marsha. She enforces the rules in a calm but effective manner and checks whether folks really do qualify for a "senior" discount. She is informative and friendly. We have camped at Baby Doe and others but tend to find camping away from the lake (a short walk away) tends to attract less noisy campers which is preferred by us.
